Returning Player, need to catch up and goal

[nimble dove]

Hey guys, I used to play a while back, the last i remember was the introduction of gears. I am not entirely up to date with new mechanics, and my meowficers (not sure bout the spelling) arent optimized at all.

Need a general direction on what to farm and what to improve

This is what we're working with

let me know if i should show something specific

[jade yarrow]

well goal for now is farm event

unicorn + 1 ship can clear easy maps
when u get to B3 switch it to D3 and clear it with 2-3 ships

then start farming D3 map with 2 fleets

and SP as well

[nimble dove]

you mean run unicorn with only 1 ship?

I have her retro but the gear is really not that good

[jade yarrow]

mob: tamaki/richy unicorn + flex
ibuki laffey flex
boss: warspite + vanguard + enterprise
eugen shimakaze jean darc

[jade yarrow]

use your best gear it will be fine for easy maps

farm the event for now
read this and put your focus correctly for research https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus/

when u get to D3 start raising some good ships

i gtg eat but i will come back to recommend some medium/long term goals for u

[nimble dove]

ok thanks!

[jade yarrow]

do /equip to check for quipment guide

[nimble dove]

/equip

[jade yarrow]

can use this site as well https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/cv?ship=unicorn

[nimble dove]

oh oop

[jade yarrow]

oh sry do it in #bot-spam

this is also easy for gear https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[nimble dove]

i also dont really understand the castle event

[jade yarrow]

idk either tbh I am just sortieing on map for now

[jade yarrow]

@nimble dove btw I am here now if u have more questions

when u get to D3 map use mob fleet to raise ships to level 120

and then start raising new ships

never farm with level 120 ships
unless u have no choice

[nimble dove]

What is a "mob" fleet?

A fleet that clears out quickly

Torps?

[jade yarrow]

the fleet that fights the non boss enemies

the fleet with the healer (unicorn)

what I mean is when u get to d3 your mob fleet will have some ships that are close to level 120
for example richeliue or tamaki if u used her instead
and when they get to 120 take them out and use someone else instead

to give them xp

also start getting anchorage or agir if u can

in shipyard

and read that link I posted for the reasearch focus and pick one
pr8 probably best

u can read about research later

[nimble dove]

I switched research to 8 for now

[nimble dove]

Like this?

[jade yarrow]

yes looks good
put tamaki in middle not unicorn

ibuki not the best tank but hopefully unicorn keeps her alive

[nimble dove]

Also for event stages, do I just rush hard mode? Or should I get the first time bonus in normal aswell?

[jade yarrow]

i recommend u use unicorn + ibuki/laffey/shima
one of them only so 1:1 fleet
and do easy stages a1 to b2

then switch to D3

u can even do B3 for the 3x bonus if u want

but dont use full fleet on easy maps

[nimble dove]

D3?

[jade yarrow]

on b3 map

u can change it to d3

[nimble dove]

Ok so I cleared d3, should I do special missions or just repeat d3

[jade yarrow]

just repeat D3 as much as u can
can do the castle minigame when waiting for morale

it is easy just do upgrades

this upgrade is broken just prioritize it when u unlock it

[nimble dove]

Welcome back present I guess

First 10 build on the banner

[jade yarrow]

congrats

[nimble dove]

I already fully cleared it, on wave 100 rn

[jade yarrow]

efficient

when farming d3 if a ship hits 120 remember to replace them and raise a new ship

ask gph if not sure who is good to raise

[nimble dove]

Also this doesn't work for me, I can't press it so need to full reboot the game every time grr

[jade yarrow]

what is this

what are u tapping

[nimble dove]

No it's like, I am on phone, so if I switch to discord and switch back, it shows this because i "disconnect"

But I can't press anything so need to swipe away the game and reboot it fully

[jade yarrow]

ah i see

that sux

[nimble dove]

Is that a common issue?

[jade yarrow]

for me it doesnt happen immediately

[nimble dove]

I assume the new ur

[jade yarrow]

maybe if i minimize the app for a while

[jade yarrow]

if u can afford to mlb her and u have no other prio for bulins yes

[nimble dove]

Haha but I missed basically ALL URs cuz last time I played they introduced shika which was first UR if I remember correctly

[jade yarrow]

they will rerun

[nimble dove]

And I rolled her twice

[jade yarrow]

and archive

[nimble dove]

I see they added some more unique gears for some characters

Are they always better then the standard ones?

[jade yarrow]

if u mean augments check this https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

[nimble dove]

Should I continue even tho you no longer get event currency?

[jade yarrow]

i think at some point u dont need to

if u got all the rewards

[nimble dove]

Also, what stats should I look for with cats

Cuz uptill now I've kinda been pressing whatever

Do they even make a difference?

[jade yarrow]

cats matter where they matter
do /cats in #bot-spam
there is a guide there

[nimble dove]

Ok ty, and last question, what should I buy with the event currency?

[jade yarrow]

check this guide https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/shops/eventshop

[nimble dove]

Ok so I should just stack them untill last day?

[jade yarrow]

u could yes

get the oil when u need it

[nimble dove]

@jade yarrow is there anything here worth keeping? I kinda wanna clear my docks so I can auto run

[jade yarrow]

ideally u keep 1 copy of each ship

do /gems in #bot-spam and follow that guide
it recommends to get dock space with f2p gems

use the dupes for limit breaks
that will help clear up some space as well

and use the bulins if rly desparate

dont retire bulins

[nimble dove]

Yea I know, got like 20 legs aswell

[nimble dove]

Why dorm 2nd floor if it won't give additional space?

Ohh wait I read it wrong

[jade yarrow]

It just doesnt give xp slots
They still give morale
And dorm xp is a meme
So the morale is the main purpose of dorm
